I jumped into acting because it was fun. It was tougher when I had to take my fun seriously.

As an actor you appreciate the security of a job. But I don't ever want to get too comfortable.

No one ever takes my side.

New York is all about sort of a corporate sensibility, and it is squeezed out room for any other kind of sensibility, money talks, bullshit walks, I guess.

I like big casts. The experience of working together, that human contact - those are my roots, professionally.

We talk about, you know, diet and that we shouldn't give our kids big things and obesity and fast food. Well, you know there are people who don't have that problem because they're not getting any food! We have so many deep problems and issues facing humanity.

Law and Order' is completely story-driven and completely characterless, really. If you do that format for five years and you're an actor, you're bound to get bored. It wears on you. And it was really wearing on me.
